12 Tips My Grandmother Gave Me
My beloved grandmother, may she rest in peace, used to carry an old notebook with her wherever she went. She would fill it with beautiful thoughts and advice she got from wise people. Throughout my childhood I would see her writing things down in that little notebook.
I always thought they were her secrets, but when she was on her deathbed, she called me over and shared her old notebook with me. The pieces of advice I found in that notebook changed my life, which made me want to share them with you, hoping it would do the same. These are the things my grandmother taught me before she passed away…
Tips- advice -  - Grandmother - Passed Away
1. Accept things with love and understanding
No matter where you are, or what you're doing, always believe that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Never expect, assume, or demand. Do the best you can to control your circumstances, and learn to accept that you can't always control everything. Once you've done all that is in your power, if it's meant to happen – it will.
2. Life CAN be simple
Even though you often feel like life is too complicated, it can always be simple. All you need to do is focus on one thing at a time. You don't have to do it all, and you don't have to do it right now. Be present, be active, do the best that you can. Whatever you put into life – life will hand back to you, with interest.
3. Don't change for other people
Make people accept you the way you are, or not accept you at all. Always say what you really think, even if it's not the popular opinion. When you're true to yourself, you add beauty to the world – beauty that was missing. You should stay in line, just make sure it's YOUR line.
4.. You're not who you were – and that's okay
You've been through a lot in life. You've studied, been hurt, and changed. Every day we learn something new which changes us in some way or another. Sometimes we realize we're not who we used to be, but that's perfectly normal. Everybody changes. In your life, people will point out the changes, and all you need to do is tell them "Of course I've changed, and so have you. Everybody changes."
Tips - Advice - Grandmother - Passed Away
5. Everything that happens is for the best
Be it significant or otherwise, joyous or sad, anything that happens will end up being in your favor. Everything that happens to us builds us and helps us grow. Life will take you places, show you things, heal you and make you into a better person. Don't be afraid to try or even to fail. In the end, everything is just a small part of life's larger plan to turn you into whom you're supposed to be.

6. Choose happiness, not wealth
Many people live their lives believing that money will make them happy, but the pursuit of wealth is devoid of meaning. Every choice you make, be sure to consider your happiness, not your bank account. In this way, when you've reached old age, you'll know the true value of things, not their monetary value. In the end, you'll understand that the best things in life are things that money can't buy – love and friendship.
7. Decide to be positive
One of the most important things you should understand about life is that if you're not happy, it is not the circumstances that are to blame, but your decision to be unhappy. Every time life places obstacles in your path, give life a big grin, accept the obstacle's existence and overcome it with joy. Make the decision to be happy, stand by your decisions and do whatever is in your power to keep them. This is the true secret to happiness.
8. Give the people you love your full attention
We can get used to being surrounded by loved ones and start taking them for granted. When you ask someone close to you how they are, don't accept an "okay", look into their eyes and ask them about their day, and how they feel. If you feel that you only have friends that remember you when they need something, don't worry, be happy that you're a source of light and hope for them.
Tips - Advice - Grandmother - Passed Away
9. Learn to set a loved one free
At times, we need to set a loved one free to allow them to grow and evolve. Every little sprout must leave the greenhouse and be planted in a larger pot to grow to its full size and bloom. It is not what you do for your loved ones that will help them grow, but rather what you taught them and how they use that knowledge.
10. Sometimes, you need to leave people behind
Sadly, not all our friends help us become better people. In some cases, friends can keep us stunted, not out of malice, but because they want to keep you down at their level. Learn to tell when this happens and stick only to friends that help you grow, lift you up, and inspire you to be who you really are.
11. Some things you only understand when you're older
In the end, people will judge you according to your actions, that's why instead of trying to impress and please everyone, follow your heart and do what you want to do, without fear. Remember that it's better to remember something and say "I can't believe I did it!" rather than "I wish I did it…"
12. Stop looking for a happy ending
We humans tend to search for some happy ending in whatever happens to us. We want a sense of closure and completion, but sometimes it's simply not how life is. If you feel like you've been searching for that happy ending for too long, you may need to, instead, search for a new beginning. Never be afraid to leave everything and start anew, you still have time, no matter what your age may be. Aspire to make the most out of whatever time you have on this planet.
This was my grandma's advice to me. It's changed my life, and I hope it'll be able to do the same for you. Rest in peace, Nana.

[www.keralites.net] YEAR END THOUGHTS - part 3

 

  YEAR END THOUGHTS - part 3
*The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. That's the style of political leadership today.
*I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them. – (George Bush)
*Remember: Don't Insult the Alligator till after you cross the river.
*There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
*My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher. –(Socrates)
*There are three sides of an argument -- your side, my side and the right side.
*Men are like bank accounts. Without a lot of money they don't generate a lot of interest.
*Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?
*Whatever it is -- I didn't do it! The standard quote of most people when pronounced guilty by the court.
*Note - The key to a good relationship is the key. Give me back the key.
*Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition. Can't they be just themselves and be a little attentive to some of their silent men 
friends than the sweet talking crafty men.
*If you must argue, remember that it is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument. (William Gibbs McAdoo)
* Christmas and New year is the time when you buy presents and unwanted gifts with the money from next year.
* If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big 
mouth! That's called gossiping (specially journalists) which more than 90 percent of our human world are doing.
* The art of interpreting facts to one's own benefit is as good as telling a lie.
* Everybody wants to go to heaven; but nobody wants to die. (Albert King )
* I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy or for that person to annoy you for the rest of your 
life. It is called "the joy of life".
* The most dangerous people are the nosey parkers. They want to know everything about you and are so very deceptive about 
themselves and their motives.
* Ultimately, remember that you came into the world with nothing, and the purpose of your life is to make something out of nothing.
* What is most un-understandable since the advent of the mobile phone is that, most have learned the art of making a caller believe 
that he or she is very busy, and to hang up. But when they need you, they are at your doorsteps unannounced..
* Only if you have a morning quiet time and a night thanksgiving prayer with your Almighty God, would you have a better direction in 
life. Oh yes without prayer life is meaningles

[www.keralites.net] YEAR END THOUGHTS - part 1

 

YEAR END THOUGHTS - part 1
* You were born with all the unique abilities, knowledge and talents you need for your mission in life. You don't need to compare 
yourself with anyone else. Just be yourself and start shining.
* The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's a self infused feeling that you are in unfamiliar territory.
* Most people always enjoy to talk and sleep on past memory, let's try not to copy them.
* A man of personality can formulate ideas, but only a man of character can achieve them.
* The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
* Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid. You too are entitled to your opinion. So let's learn the 
art of agreeing to disagree and smile folks. This is because attitudinal behaviour has been the cause for many people's downfall.
*There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. And there are people who question and argue just to hear their voices. 
Never ever argue or discuss with them anything if you value your honor in society. But if you are convinced of their stupidity, 
do expose them by all means.
